  3. Within this window, check the required bulk settings and enter the appropriate data in the corresponding fields.
    If needed, review the terminology in the previous section.
  4. Find the Start From Depot (depot at which the Route starts) Finish at Depot (depot at which the Route ends), and Vehicle Usage Type (general, special or multipurpose education) options in three different drop-down menus and select the correct options.
  5. Click OK. The updated data will be saved.
